"The World perceives what is present to them firsthand, but they are blinded by the follies and lies spouted by those in power. I will crush that madness and create a fair world where the concept of inequality and torment is vanquished. They have forgotten where their roots come from and they have also broken the will of the ones who gave their lives up to destroy an entity that supposedly exists...the real monster does not lie within the concept of a demon...it lies within us...and I will expose the inner monster inside us...WE ARE THE SHADOW GARDEN OF FATUI...AND WE ARE THIS WORLD'S SAVIORS."
"FEEBLE HUMANS!"
A large burst of purple lightning explodes within an underground base, and dozens of burnt bodies lie on the ground as a boy with indigo hair and a large hat walks past them with multiple hooded girls behind him. Multiple guards come down the hall with their swords unsheathed. The boy grins as a man with ginger hair runs past him and gathers a large amount of magic for his bow and arrow.
???: "Celestial Voyager!"
He fires a water arrow that transforms into a whale as it swallows the guards and kills them.
???: "You almost got my clothing wet, Childe."
Childe: "Oh relax, you were in a safe distance anyway. So, is it here?"
???: "Who knows? Going off with what that imbecile I tortured, his expression was genuine. Therefore, it must be here. You two, go to the archives and grab anything that may be useful."
???/???: "Yes Lord Scaramouche."
Two of the hooded girls disappear as Childe and Scaramouche go on ahead and are blocked by a locked door. Tartaglia slices the lock off and opens the door, the two men are met with many artifacts.
Tartaglia: "Sooo, where is it?"
Scaramouche: "How about you look and stop asking questions."
Tartaglia rolls his eyes and goes to a shelf and he sees a purple chess piece that's glowing.
Tartaglia: "Is this it?"
Scaramouche: "Yes! Right on the money..."
He breaks the glass container and grabs it.
Scaramouche: "Finally...all that searching paid off..."
Tartaglia: "I sense more cultists on the way."
Scaramouche: "What are you waiting for? A command?"
Tartaglia: "Quiet I know what I gotta do."
Tartaglia forms two water swords but he stops and looks up.
Scaramouche: "What's wrong?"
Tartaglia: "We should get out of here."
Scaramouche raises an eyebrow before sensing a lot of magic on the surface. Scaramouche snaps his fingers as he teleports himself, Tartaglia, and the hooded girls outside.
Scaramouche: "Well, looks like she didn't want to wait."
???: "What do you mean, Lord Scaramouche?"
He points at the sky as they see a woman with fox ears and behind her is a large fox-like beast as she gathers wind magic in her palm and charges it up.
